Find below some impressions of the International Conference for Clinical and Functional Nutrition (Frei Caneca Expo centre) and FI South America
(Expo Centre Norte).
Starting with Fi South America, a good
show, with most of the big national and international players
present. Some of the key trend this year:
- Stevia and natural sweeteners
- Food fortification
- (Natural) aromas
- Sports nutrition
- Beauty solutions
In addition to Brazil exhibitors
(national and international), American, European, Chinese and Indian
companies were relatively well represented at the show. Brazil is
still pretty much a distribution market, with a relatively low level
of national innovation.
The winners of the industry awards 2012
were:
Food ingredients: PuraQ®Arome NA4
Purac SÃnteses
Food application: Bolo de caneca Dr.
Oetker
Functional Food application:
Piracanjuba Zero Lactose Piracanjuba
A much smaller event was the
International conference of clinical and functional nutrition, held
at the Frei Caneca Conference centre. Core of the event was the three
day conference programme, focusing on many different topic in the
area of dietary solutions, clinical food and preventive and health
food for different age groups and sexes.
The exhibition side of the event was relatively small, with predominantly sport and performance nutrition companies, natural food companies and beauty solution companies. The number of innovative health food applications presented was fairly low. Nonetheless a good event to attend.
